Ingredients
- 1 head garlic, cut in half through the equator
- 1 head romaine lettuce, quartered lengthwise
- 2 large bell peppers, quartered
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 4 slices Health Starts Here® bread
- 2/3 cup unsweetened plain almondmilk
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Method
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking.
Arrange garlic on a cool part of the grill so it begins to roast as the grill heats up.
Grill lettuce, bell peppers and onion, turning occasionally, until just tender and charred, about 3 minutes for lettuce and 8 to 10 minutes for bell peppers and onion.
Grill bread until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Remove garlic bulb from the grill.
Squeeze a few cloves garlic from bulb and rub garlic all over one side of each bread slice; cut bread into cubes for croutons.
In a blender, combine almondmilk, mustard, lemon juice, pepper, yeast and 3 cloves roasted garlic; blend until smooth.
Arrange lettuce, peppers, onions and croutons on a platter and drizzle with dressing.
Alternatively, roughly chop all vegetables and toss together with dressing and croutons.
